Where I'm From

It's something I wrote in my class. Enjoy!

I am from harsh winds and quick freezes, from brutal heat and random weather.

I am from the backside of a shopping empire, where there are more cats than people.

I am from a grand oak tree, where children use its roots for kingdoms.

I am from long trips and strawberries, from Aunt Trisha and Heather and Uncle Milo.

I am from a population of sarcastic, big-dreaming people and big feasts.

I am from a world where the only Santa lives on TV, and "they're only talking loudly."

I am from people who love me and my family and God, where I long to be now.

I am from North Carolina and weird relatives, surrounded by Slushess and barbeque.

From the surprising event of life, the acceptance letters, and the unending love and guidance of Elizabeth.

This was great! I loved all the little descriptions of where you're from, and I thought that they were like little snippets, giving great insight into who you are.
I'm so sure that I wrote a poem in this structure when I was younger at school, and I can understand how much sentimental value a write like this can have, and how difficult it can be to summarise all you know into however many lines. This piece had a nice balance between giving enough information and yet leaving enough room for mystery and intrigue. I really enjoyed reading this! :)
